Rumors. A year or so ago, rumors began spilling out of
Japan that the third generation Toyota
Prius was achieving 100 mpg. Others quickly
reported that fuel economy was measured differently in
Japan than in America, and 100 mpg probably meant 70
to 80 mpg. Today, it seems the third generation Prius
will probably, on average, be in the 50+ mpg range,
versus today's mid-40's (Yes, many Prius drivers
achieve far better mileage).
Thus, when LeftLaneNews.com
reports that Honda's new hybrid
vehicles, loosely based off of the Fit, might
achieve "insane" fuel economy, it's hard to
know what to believe. According to the
"insane" mentality, the new Honda could
achieve 70+ mpg. Leftlane believes that actually means
50-55 mpg. As for me, I'm just hoping that Honda can
stick to the under-$20,000 price tag, despite rising
energy problems, higher steel costs, etc.
